COMMENCING TO FEED.
How to Fatten Animals for Market at the
Smallest Cost.

How to Fatten Animals for Market at the
Smallest Cost.
like to commence feeding stock
that want to fatten reasonably early.
Soon as the weather begins to get
sufficiently cool so that the stock are
comfortable, a much better gain can
be secured than if the feeding is de-
layed until later. When the weather
is not too cold, either in the spring or
fall, have always regarded as being
the best time for securing the most
gain at the lowest cost, and this is al
ways an item to be considered.
1t is not necessary to commence
giving full feeds at once. In fact,
should consider it better policy not
to do SO, and especially if the pastures
are furnishing any thing like supply
of feed. My plan is to commence feed
ing little heavier, gradually increas-
ing the amount until full feed is
given. like to feed the growing pigs
all summer. The additional cost ID
very light and a much better gain can
be secured and the hogs be in suffi-
GENTLY better condition in the fall to
make the feeding very profitable.
do not consider it necessary to de-
pend entirely upon corn alone either
for fattening hogs or cattle. There
can be no question but that under GER
tain conditions corn is one of the very
best feeds we can have for fattening
stock, but l find it better not TO make
it an exclusive feed, and especially so
where there is partial failure of the
crop and the price is such that it can
not be fed to stock exclusively with
profit By using other materials the
stock can be kept gaining steadily at
less cost often than while corn is used
exclusively. Mill feed, such as bran
and shipstuff, chopped oats and barley
mixed half and half-soaked wheat, can
all be used instead of corn, making up
a good variety and often furnishing a
feed that costs less than corn. AS to
which will be the best will depend con-
siderably upon the price at which the
different materials can be purchased.
I have been able to secure a very
good growth during the summer and
fall by letting the hogs have the run of
the pasture or rather the orchard |
and feeding night and morn
ing shipstuff made into a slop.
Cattle can be fed mill feed in the same |
way. A sufficient quantity should |
be given TO keep the stock gaining. I |
consider it poor policy to keep stock
in good pasture all spring and summer
and then in the fall, just when the food
is the most important. to allow them to
begin to fail, and especially so with
stock that we expect to fatten for
market later on. The most econom-
zeal plan of fattening stock have ever
tried is to keep the stock gaining from
the start so that when they have made
o sufficient growth very little extra
feeding will be necessary to fatten.
This will answer for cattle, sheep or
hogs.
As rule 1 prefer to have the stock
ready for market reasonably early.

A Wisconsin court has decided that
husband can open his wife's letters.
Now, if there was only some way of
getting law passed compelling a hus-
band to mail his wife's letters some
time the same Year that she gave them
to him, the women wouldn't care a
snap about this other decision. And
then, perhaps, in the interest of uni
versal peace, it should be made peni-
Tertiary offense for wife to give her
husband any letters to mail. Or, if
she does, she should never again refer
to them in any way. How is man to
feel happy, how is he to have any feel
ing of peace or content in his heart all
day, when in the morning his wife
stands before him, holding one hand
hidden behind her back, and says,
sweetly: ibid you mail that letter I
gave You yesterday" How does he
know whether that letter is still in his

not, in moment of temporary insan-

"A frightful railroad accident oc-
Cured to an east-boun1 freight train

eight miles from Paducah, KY, yes
terday morning. The engine ran on
to a burning trestle and went through
with eighteen cars, a distance of sixty
five feet. Engineer Pat Roman and
colored brakeman are known to be
killed. The wreck took fire and was

not been recovered, ON account of the
great heat. Thomas Long, the fire.
man, escaped with a broken leg by
jumping from the cabin to the creek.
The trestle at the same place was de-
stroyed by fire last month.
Within the last few weeks it has
been demonstrated that a continuous
air-brake is as practical for freight
trains as for passenger trains, and it
is quite evident that the money saved
to the roads by use of air-brakes on
freight trains would in short time
pay for their general introduction.
The accident on the Vandalia near
Seeleysville, On Wednesday morning,
would not have occurred had there
been an air-brake on the train, and
the loss incurred by the collision
would pay for the equipment of doz-
zen trains with the brake. The old
fashioned brake has sur
vived on the freight cars
too long. Experiments have been
had in various parts of the country
airbrake as applied to freight cars,
and with such excellent results that
the extension of the system to govern
freight as we'll as passenger traffic may
be looked upon as certain. The rail
road companies will gain BY the re-
form. At present the accidents on
freight trains are very frequent owing
generally to the absence for facilities
for stopping the cars at once. Com
petition among roads has operated
greatly to increase the speed of freight
trains, and the volume Of traffic
crowds the tracks,-Globe-Democrat.

closed a successful engagement in st.

requires considerable more feed to Sc
cure the same amount of gain than it
does if the stock is fattened. and this
will often make up the difference in
the price. We must secure the largest
gain at the smallest cost, and if this is
done it will often be found necessary
to feed as economically as possible and

lowest cost-Cor. Farmer and Breeder.
